🟦 Pedagogical Module 2: Week 3 - Adapting the Book

PLANNING LESSONS: WEEK 3

👥 ATTENDANCE: Mandatory for All Teachers.

📍 FOCUS: Turning boring book pages into exciting presentations.

🔗 RESOURCES (Open in Meeting) Article: Adapting materials for different age groups (Focus on "Younger students" section).

📋 THE WORKSHOP PLAN (90 Minutes)

1. THE PROBLEM (0-15 mins) Discussion: 

The Teacher's Book often says "Ask students to work in pairs." This is boring on camera and some students don't know what to do. How do we change or improve it?

2. INPUT: ADAPTING MATERIALS (15-35 mins)

Read the article.

1. Discuss: "How can I make the task visual?"

2. Technique: "Visualizing the Task". Instead of just speaking, students must Show and Tell.

3. WORKSHOP: "TEACH BACK" (35-80 mins) Task: 

Look at a specific page in a JYS student book (e.g., A reading text about hobbies).

Adapt: Change the activity from "Read and answer" to "Teach back".

• Old Way: Read and answer questions 1-5.

• New Way: Draw the 5 answers on the board. Stand up. Point to the drawings and explain the hobby to the class. Demonstrate: One teacher acts as the student doing the "Teach Back".
